'''Tweesters''', originally referred to as '''whirlwinds''' (alternatively capitalized),<ref> {{cite|quote='''Warning''' Avoid the Whirlwinds! Although you don't fight them, they'll lift you up and plop you somewhere in the grid and you'll have no idea where you are.|author=Farkas, Bart G|title=''Paper Mario'' Official Strategy Guide|page=64}}</ref> are [[tornado]]-like enemies found in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] that try to touch the player, sending them into the air in an attempt to redirect their movements and hinder their progression. In all of the games, they cannot harm the player directly and can only attempt to force them into a more dangerous situation.

Tweesters are some of the few original [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] characters to reappear in other ''Super Mario'' games, along with [[Whacka]]s, [[Koopatrol]]s, [[Goomboss]], and the [[Star Spirits]].

Whirlwinds debut in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where they forcefully blow [[Mario]] one screen to the north and one screen to the east in [[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]] if he comes into contact with them. It is typically a poor choice to touch them, as the player can easily get lost within the vast sands. However, one particular whirlwind (in an area with blue cacti) can be used to throw Mario next to the [[Spin Attack (Badge)|Spin Attack]] [[Badge]] on top of a high rock that cannot be reached by any other means.

In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', a Tweester appears under its current name in the minigames [[Twist 'n' Out]] and [[Wind Wavers]]. In ''Mario Party 5'', ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', an [[Orb]] called the [[Tweester Orb]] appears, being based on Tweesters in appearance and function.

In ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'', a Tweester, referred to as a '''cyclone''', appears near an island and attacks the [[SS Brass]], making it spin out of control.
